Well, yeah. You can do this, you can take pub fn simple_func(fetch: fn(String) -> String) -> List(Int) {
let keys = ["a", " b"]
list.map(keys, fn(key) {
let key = string.uppercase(key)
let value = fetch(key)
string.length(value)
})
}
and manually convert it into a code that, instead of performing this computation, builds essentially an AST that could be interpreted to perform this computation. But the whole point of the research into async/await, algebraic effects, etc. is so that you, the programmer, don't have to because your original program is already an AST that could be interpreted to perform the computation!Your programming language already has semicolons, "foreach", and "return", so why force the programmer to use a combination of "continuation.then()", "continuation.each()", and "continuation.return()" instead? That's very much building a new programming language on top of an existing one and then solving the original problem at hand — well, perhaps the original programming language should just be better at solving the problems you want to solve? |
